I have been hearing about The Roommate by Rosie Danan since it came out in 2020. One of my favourite book influencers says it's one of the sexiest books she's ever read—which is saying something. I'm not a big Harlequin romance reader, so generally, the books I read are pretty tame when it comes to … Continue reading Book Review: The Roommate
Every time I come across the enemies-to-lovers trope I'm on board to read the book. My husband would tell you it's probably because I show my love through teasing, so I come by it honestly...but this isn't about me. I read The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall exactly a year ago today and I thought … Continue reading Book Review: The Last Word
Though she's been writing for a long time, I only came across Kelley Armstrong when I received an ARC for A Rip Through Time last year—and though I don't usually read mysteries, I powered through it and loved it. I told myself I wanted to read more of her stuff, especially standalones, so when I … Continue reading Book Review: Someone Is Always Watching
I was contacted by St. Martin's Press to read the final book in the "A Brush with Love" series, though I had only read the second one, Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, at that point. Though I wasn't blown away by it, I did like the writing and there were some spicy scenes that I enjoyed … Continue reading Book Review: The Plus One
Renaissance festivals have always been so intriguing to me. Though I've never been, I love the idea of the middle ages and even Medieval Times is a throwback that I can definitely get behind. A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger? One of my faves. It's the corniness and the way people just get so on … Continue reading Book Review: The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway
I have been enjoying the Amazon First Reads that feature Asian and Indian culture—I’ve been learning a lot. When I saw that The Direction of the Wind by Mansi Shah was about a pair of Indian women being transported to Paris, a city I am a little familiar with (and with a bit of a … Continue reading Book Review: The Direction of the Wind
I'm not going to lie, the Amazon First Reads haven't been doing that well for me lately, but I had two left to read so I figured I'd just power through them and give it a shot. The plot for The Chemistry of Love by Sariah Wilson sounded silly—fake dating is often so messy and … Continue reading Book Review: The Chemistry of Love
I didn't get to read as many holiday books as I wanted before Christmas came along, so when I noticed that Five Winters by Kitty Johnson was on the Amazon First reads list for December, I was hoping it could pull the holiday feeling into January for me without being strictly a Christmas storyline. It … Continue reading Book Review: Five Winters
Emma Lord's Tweet Cute is a book I recommend to anyone who is interested in YA or who wants to see if they could be into it, so when I saw Begin Again (hello, Taylor Swift reference!), I knew I had to get my hands on an ARC to review. Between the promise of pirate … Continue reading Book Review: Begin Again
Last year I rang in the new year reading Oona Out of Order, a loose New Year's–themed book that was one of my top reads of the year. I decided that from now on, I always want my first book of the year to be focused on New Year's Eve. This brought me to This … Continue reading Book Review: This Time Next Year
